We don't own a pet.Why, then, have I been forced to clean up not 1, not 2, not 3. . .but S-I-X piles of cat s*** off my front lawn -- in the past 24 hours?!?!
I'm not a cat person to begin with, so the thought of cleaning up somebody else's cat's poop is really pissing me off!!
There are 2 cats that seem to just roam (own?) my block. I'm not sure who the cats actually belong to, but a few of my neighbors feed them. They pretty much go wherever they want -- sunning on top of someone's boat, lying in the shade under another's tree. . .you get the idea.
There's nothing like pulling up in front of your house and having your senses assaulted by the smell of fresh cat poop and the accompanying flies as you come up your walkway.
And while we're talking about wayward pets and their owners. . .
Why does one of our neighbors allow their small beast to bark incessantly and without provocation?! I wake to the sound of the dog barking; I work with the sound of the dog barking; I (try to) relax in the evening to the sound of the dog barking; I go to sleep to the sound of the dog barking. Dude, Chick, your dog is barking!
For the love of all that is good neighborly, why don't people control their animals?!
If I were little Anthony Fremont from the Twilight Zone, I would wish them all away to the cornfield.
I'm not nicer, necessarily. I just need to watch what I put in writing. . .LOL
